Same exact issue with me as well. Dr. wants my LDL below 70 so increased statin from 20 mg to 40 mg. Calcium score was 1100. Currently taking 81 mg aspirin, fish oil and turmeric daily as well. I am 61 and exercise daily. Seems to me the medical profession is not getting to the root cause of the plaque. My research indicates that insulin resistance forces the LDL "bullet" molecules to penetrate the artery wall when they can not longer be processed by the liver.
